WHO STRUCK HIM

Last evening yovng man apparently
not over q was seen on the street, and if
given an opportunity he would explain
that he was detective sent down here by
the powers that be to investigate the
liquor question and find out all the joints
in the city.
Later on he was standing in front of the
Richcy house, bare headed and looking
vacantly around. He said that someone,
a colored man whom he did not know,
had struck him in the face. Whatever
may be said of the truth of his story, of
the fact that he had been struck there was
no doubt for his left eye doomed up as the
best of evidence. He passed the night at
the police station. and yesterday morning
had issued a warrant for the arrest of his
assailant. So far the party wanted has
not been found, and the young detective S
wrongs promise to 90 unavenged.

FELT THEIR OATS.

Yesterday morning. farmer named Lar
kin was driving south on Lawrence ave.
on his way home and when near the cross
ing at Lincoln street, his horses suddenly
halted, the wheels of the wagon running
upon their heels, they began kicking VIC
lently, smashing the dash board into
smithereens. Mr.. Larkin and his wife, to
save themselves jumped out, and thereup-
on the team suddenly dashed up Lawrence
at rate of speed unknown in the annals
of the turf. At English street anOld Irish
man, all unconscious of impending danger,
was jogging leisurely along with an ash
cart A moment later the ashcart was
transformed into a very fair quality OF
kindling wood and the Irishman was lean
ing against fence coughing up his teeth.
AT Lawrence avenue quick-witted dray-
man stopped his dray squarely in front of
the flying steeds and checked their mad
career long enough to allow passer-by to
get hold of the reins and pull them up.
Strangely enough, the damage was slight.

SABBATH QUESTION.

On Sunday. at the Central Christian
church, DR.. Hobbs LETT the beaten path IN
treathing The sabbath question" In
stead of deriving authority for the Lords
day from the fourth commandment he
based it upon the authority of Jesus the
Christ In this way he rids the subject at
once of all the discussion usually evoked
in respect TO its Jewish features and frees
il from Jewish traditions, and at the same
time lifts IL out of secularism.
His main position was that
Jesus having received all authority
in heaven and upon earth, after
His resurrection gave the great com
mission TO his apostles, which is the char
acter of the church of Christ. In it Jesus
limited the teaching of the apostles to
such things as he had commanded them to
teach his apostles to observe Therefore,
whatever customs are known TO have been
universally observed in the churches
planted by the apostles, must have been
instituted by the apostles under the au-
thority of Jesus All testimony is to the
effect that the first day of the week. or the
Sunday, was universally observed as
day of rest and worship aud spiritual Gull
ture. Therefore, such observance Of the
day is by divine authority

WAS MISTAKEN.

Dr. Crosbey stated on Sunday evening
to number of friends soon after arriving
that he knew all about Wichita as he has
been taking papers regularly during his
three years absence. He insisted that he
knew of every improvement in the city
and would see nothing which would
startle him in the least.
Yesterday to a number of old time
friends and before some of the members of
the Sunday evening crowd he took occa-
sion 20 remark that Wichita prints had
not told of half the improvements that
really have been made. His confidence OF
knowing all about the town was slightly
demolished since ne had made tour of
inspection. The Importance of the city
was more and more impressed upon him.

BUILDING NOTES.

Work upon the Garfield University still
continues, the cold weather of yesterday
and the day before, however, preventing
anything being done upon the exterior OF
the structure. The north wing is now
ready for occupancy and it is the intention
to work upon the main building until it is
completed far enough to form shelter and
protection for the part now completed.
There are upon the ground 10000
brick for the outer walls, the lack of
which, it will be remembered, caused
the delay last summer. This immense
building will be exteriorly completed mid
summer IS: it is not however, the inten-
ton to fit up and furnish the entire in
terror immediately-onlys such part as may
at the time be required for the school.
Then, as is needed, the other part of the
structure will be furnished, thus giving to
all parts proper and careful detail in in
terror arrangement.
At the Crawford Grand the workmen
have been compelled to suspend for the
present work upon the roof and
the exterior of the building.
Carpenters are arranging the stage tim
bers and putting in the seat rests OF the
parquet and balcony. Mr.. Fierce is max
ing great effort to have the house ready
for the opening in the middle of January.
The boys of Hose Company No. are
very proud of the new home that is almost
ready to receive them. This new city
building will be complete in every respect.
The building is exteriorily complete and
the carpenters are busily engaged upon
the interior.
The Wichita & Western railroad
are building round-house upon their
property in the south part of the city. 1t
will be frame building with two stalls
and places for material and fuel. Material
has been brought here from Kingman,
and turn table viii be built in the yard
The building will be increased in size as
fast as the business OF the road may de-
mand
AT the Sedgwick the mechanics were en-
gagged upon the interior. The painters are
laying off awaiting for the car
penters to complete their work
upon the lower stories. Fire escapes
have been put upon the west side OF the
block; in fact, this magnificent structure
will be completely equipped with these
modern life-savinS appliances.
The Mitchell building is being pushed
as rapidly as possible toward completion.
There now remains to be finished at the
Smith-Skinner block only the interior and
the towers OF the top Of the front wall.
The constructive OF the building has from
the first been pushed with great energy
and zeal, and at this stage the builders
Will not permit the work to lag.
